re: #8 Alouette

Would Henry Tudor have amounted to anything more than a serial pedophile if he hadn’t been born into the royal family?

Has anyone here read Phillipa Gregory’s Boleyn series? The Boleyn, Seymour and other “noble” families were nothing but a bunch of hardcore pimps.

Well, I’m a Richard III gal, so my sympathy for Henry Tudor is reasonably low.

RSM is correct in that teenage (and pre-teen) young women got married and had babies all the time in days of yore, however, this is totally irrelevent to a modern society trying to keep down its teenage pregnancy rate.
